Do you want to learn what gameplay mechanics make your favorite games so fun? In this workshop we'll be putting our problem solving skills to the test by exploring the role of probability, resource management, and game theory in modern game design. Play and discuss a diverse selection of games to help inspire your own designs, then create your own game to share with your friends!
